A well-established detached fish & chip and hot food takeaway just outside Wellingborough town centre, currently turning over around £3,000 a week on restricted hours that close by 9pm. The shop is clean, spacious and properly fitted, with a self-contained one-bedroom flat over the top. Reluctantly offered due to family commitments, and reduced to £69,950 to encourage a quick sale.
Trading figures:
The seller informs us that turnover currently sits in the region of £3,000 a week, split between counter takeaway and delivery sales. The owner has not been able to give the business their full attention recently, and the trading hours are short — closed all day Sunday and shut by 9pm the rest of the week — so the scope to lift takings through longer hours, sharper marketing and a wider menu is plain to see on inspection.
Trade equipment:
The shop is well equipped with relatively modern, well-maintained trade items, headlined by a two-pan Preston & Thomas frying range. Also included: a microwave, two kebab machines, two new baffle-filter extraction systems, a four-burner gas cooker, electronic till, sweet vending machine, refrigerated salad bar with storage under, double-door drinks fridge, large fish freezer, three large chest freezers, upright fridge, oil filtration machine, large stainless commercial sink, and a Bold chipper and peeler. A full trade inventory will be provided prior to completion.
Special remarks:
This is a long-established business with a solid, loyal customer base, offered for sale because the current owner's personal circumstances have left them unable to give the shop the attention it deserves. The runway for a hands-on operator is straightforward: extend the trading hours, push the marketing, and broaden the menu — pizza, fried chicken or even a Slush Puppy machine would all sit comfortably in a retail area this spacious, and there is room to add further customer seating both inside and out in the rear garden. Reduced to £69,950 to encourage a quick sale, with a leasehold price that looks light against the fit-out, the equipment and the included flat. Inspection is strongly recommended.
